Workshop tickets are going fast, so be sure to grab yours today! All workshops will be at the American Red Cross building. Options include:
May 1, 9:00am to 12:00pm:
Intro to Using Open Science As an Enabler for Government and Public Sector Applications, led by Rachel Opitz of the Open Geospatial Consortium. This interactive workshop will introduce the Open Geospatial Consortium's recently launched initiative to develop an Open Science Persistent Demonstrator (OSPD), sponsored by NASA and ESA.
Getting Started With Geoserver: Data Configuration and Styling, led by Internationally-recognized GeoServer leader, Andrea Aime. This workshop will get your started with GeoServer, with training from one of the world's leading web services software developers.
May 1, 1:00pm to 5:00pm:
What Is a Vector Db and Why Should Geospatial People Care, led by well known AI and Geospatial Data Analytics expert, Steve Pousty. The recent rise of “AI,” and its potential impact, has made it the focus of discussion (and hype). This workshop provides hands-on work with vector data and use cases. Attendees will be able to answer questions such as: What are these “vectors,” where do they come from, how do you query them, what are their use cases, and what role are they going to play in your existing infrastructure?
Building and Consuming Urban Digital Twins with Open-Source Tools, led by renowned Digital Cartographer and UI/UX Designer, Stefano Bovio. Participants will gain exclusive insights into the development and exploitation of digital twins, drawing upon the GeoSolutions team's extensive experience with urban reconstruction projects.
Preparing for the Impending Modernization of the U.S. National Spatial Reference System and Impacts on Federal Geospatial Data Providers and Users, led by Charles Geoghegan, Dan Roman and Galen Scott of NOAA's National Geodetic Survey (NGS). Currently, NGS is in the process of modernizing the NSRS, updating the existing horizontal datums with a suite of geometric reference frames and the vertical datums with a gravimetrically-derived geopotential datum. This workshop is for US Federal Agency employees and partners who are responsible for collecting and maintaining geospatial datasets, collecting new geodetic information for geospatial observations, and any other geospatial information. This session is free but a lunch ticket can be purchased separately.
On April 30, FedGeoDay will feature keynote speaker Dr. Budhendra “Budhu” Bhaduri from Oak Ridge National Lab, panel conversations, lightning talks and time for networking. Topics discussed will include Open Source for Local Government, Emergency Management & Response, and Climate Risk, Open Data: Actions and Aspirations, and Silicon Dream or New Reality? AI in Remote Sensing.

FedGeoDay is an annual collaborative event organized byOSGEO US, OpenStreetMap US and open source geospatial leaders in the National Capital Region. FedGeoDay is THE event devoted to "open geospatial ecosystems" (open source software, open/collaborative mapping, open science challenges, and open engagements) that are used to initiate and grow capabilities across the U.S. federal government.
